Before the interview I could not sleep all night. I am very nervous and excited but,

I was determined in my mind heart and and soul to have the visa.

I was already there at 6:00, but the guard let us in at 6:30 all K-1 applicants .

TIPS:

1. Prepare two copies for each DS-157, DS-156 and DS-156K.......

2. Bring one xerox copy of the DS-157 from BPI Bank.

3.One month before your schedule pay DelBros account through Metrobank. So by the time of your interview your document Verification would be finish. So when your finish with your interview all you'd have to do is wait for your visa in shorter peiod of time. Because when you pay later on, your visa would take a longer period of time to be deliverd because the DelBros would still be waiting for the Document Verification. I have already confirmed this because I asked the in-charge of the DelBros in USEM.

4.Very important dont leave any blanks in your DS forms and other documents if its not applicable just write N/A.

1.When you come in go directly to the ticket both with all DS-156, DS-157 forms. And submit directly so you can 2.get your number.Watch out for your number to be called for finger scanning.

3.At first I took the finger scanning always make sure that your hands are dry.

4.Then wait for you number to called for pre-screening.

Pre-screening

1.What is your name

2.How old are you

3.Name of your Fiance

4.How old is your Fiance

5.How many times has he been married

6.Does he have any children

7.Do you know his children

8.Do you have children

9.How old are they

9.How did you konw that your Fiance really loves you

10.Why do you love your Fiance

11.Are you sure that you love your Fiance? Why ?

12.When did your Fiance arrived in the Philippines & which hotel did you stay in ?

13.Where di you meet your

14.When did you lastr see your Fiance

15.When did you first talk

16.How long did you know your Fiance

17.Do you have any proof of relationship with your Fiance

18.Pictures,e-mails,instant messaging and his Phone Bill

19.CENOMAR

20.B-certificate Authenticated

21.NBI Clearance

22.(W2) Certificate of Employment of your Fiance

23.Affidavit of Support

My consule and pre-scanner were very nice we were just talking like friends. But when I was waitnig outside I was very nervous I almost vomited because the girl ahead of me took around 40 minutes I was very nervous Because i thought that the console was very strict. But when my turn came OH MY GOD she was very nice Thank God I breathed a sigh of relief. And the pre-scanner told me i am very smart and pretty woman!!!!!!! YAHOOo , but thats not what i've been waiting for im waiting for my pink slip.

1.What is your name

2.How old are you

3.Asked to oath

4.Name of Fiance

5.Where did your Fiance propose to you

And then the counsole said Welcome to the United States of America !!!!!! It just took me two minutes with the console.

TIP:

Be careful with the pre-scanner cause whatever you answered to the scanner the console well base her questions on your answers. Because while the pre-scanner is having a interview with you she will be taking down notes on your answers, and the console will just read that and base her decision on your answers to the pre-scanner.
